Abstract

This paper reviews our recent development of an integrated circuit (IC)/microfluidic hybrid system. The hybrid system consists of an IC chip and a microfluidic channel fabricated on top. Biological cells attached to magnetic beads are suspended inside the microfluidic system that maintains biocompatibility. A microcoil array in the IC produces programmable, spatially-patterned magnetic fields to simultaneously manipulate multiple individual bead-bound cells with precise position control. Two prototypes validate the proposed approach.
